Stabilization of fractured region was achieved via cerclage wire application under general anesthesia. Fixation wires were left in place for ۶ weeks. A ۳ -month follow up revealed complete fracture healing. The purpose of this case report was to give clinical information about rostral mandibular fractures and treatment of these fractures and nutrition protocol in a horse, as this fracture is of the most common type of jaw fracture sustained by young horses.
